There are two kinds of desktops: Yours and someone else's
I have seen the future of the desktop and, in case you've missed any of the other times I've said it, it's Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) on the cloud. There's not going to be, for example, an old-style Windows 11. Instead, there will continue to be one Windows 10 update after another, and — coming soon now — Microsoft Cloud PC, Microsoft's Azure-based DaaS offering.
But there's another way of looking at desktops: There are the ones where three of the biggest companies in the world call the shots and there's the Linux desktop.
